Yeah, I found myself going welp that wasn’t necessary. On the other hand given they also give you fifty dollars in gems it’s the same cost as buying the expansion without the extra content. I buy gems so for me there was no real loss. (shrug)

It’s pretty bad. Looks low quality and dated, like they made it before they made the core game, QC scrapped it, then they brought it back and stuck it in the 2nd xpac. I enjoyed my similar Paragon armor in GW1, but it has no place in 2017. Hopefully they’ll revisit this costume and update it (highly doubt it).

I love the chest piece of the sunspear outfit, though I must admit I was extremely saddened that it was an outfit, rather than a set of armor skins. I’d love to just have the chest piece as a skin, but sadly it’s not possible.

I’m also not particularly a fan of the weapon skins, but I’m glad that Anet still introduced them, as we need more plain looking weapon skins – if you look at the wardrobe, currently, there are WAYYY too many magical-looking weapons with floating things or sparkly/glowy effects. I think it’s good that we’re getting more plain looking weapons – I love many of the plain weapons from GW1, for example.

I would be very happy if Anet provided separate skins for the sunspear outfit, or we were able to convert our outfits into a set of separate skins.

I was disappointed there wasn’t any mention of new skins or anything, though I think it just wasn’t a priority/worth mentioning in the expansion announcement, as it’s clear there are new weapon and armor skins in the expac footage – It would be nice to see all the new skins that will be coming with Path of Fire though. I wish Anet would have included info on this :-(

I pray there will be some craftable Nightfall throwback armor designs, or maybe a small collection like the Mistward set was with Revenant. Though with the track record like ANet, I am not expecting a lot. The videos probably just showed us a bunch of outfits.

Is that the so-called “Spearmarshal’s Presense” that is mentioned in the Deluxe Edition? If so, what is the “Lily of the Elon Pass”? A location teleport?

It’s a GW1 thing, if you’re a vet of that game more likely that you love it.
You’re right it looks terrible, but hey i was playing “World of Warcraft” during those days, So the mounts thing is awesome! (Since they basically ripped off ArchAge with how these mounts function.) Now if the next step is to make mounts able to fight with you like in BDO It’d be more awesome, but i doubt that is gunna soon.

If you are a GW1 player, this outfit is perfect. It has exactly the right amount of updated visual and classic nostalgia… and unfortunately ALL the female armors for classic GW1 paragons had that bare midriff which was my complaint then and now.

As for the weapons, I disagree with those being ugly as well. I am super sick of seeing only super flashy ridiculous weapon designs and seeing a bunch of more basic designs based on actual African weapons makes me really happy (even if the star is just a touch too large on some, and the cutlass is shaped more like a scimitar). A lot of people have been complaining about weapon skins being too elaborate.. can’t please 100% of every… just don’t get it.

The larger glass weapons look really cool and I want to make them work with a character. But the outfit didn’t work for me at all.

That said, even if I researched the skins and outfit before buying I’d still have gone Ultimate. Expansion, character slot, level 80 boost, shared inventory slot, VIP area access, a heap of gems… a couple vanity skins don’t bother me.

Yeah, the bonus gear not only looks a bit lame, but it’s an OUTFIT. When will they learn that nobody wants outfits. We want armor skins, bits and pieces that we can mix and match with different armor skins as we see fit. I would take a single completed armor set for 2-3 dozen outfits any day of the week. I would take a single good pair of shoulders or gloves over a full outfit skin. They need to give up on the Outfits, and this pre-order bonus is a really bad sign.

The Spearmarshall’s Presence is the outfit, and the Lily of the Elon Permanent Pass gives you access to a “luxury riverboat casino notorious for serving both the nobility, and criminal underground. This decadent den of iniquity offers convenience and comfort to those in the know, with access to vendors”.

It’s all found here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/path-of-fire/

Just hover over the Packages to see what each one offers.

I have the pass, but it obviously can’t be used yet until the expansion comes out. See pic below. It’s basically like a desert styled Royal Terrace pass.

the only reason to go ultimate is if your are going to be buying gems in future mine as well get em now, plus some extra stuff. NO REASON to get middle option the “extras” aren’t worth the extra money alone. Get the cheap one instead. but since 4k gems cost 50 bucks anyways(29.99+50= 79.99+extra stuff) ultimate is the way to go if u want that extra stuff. I know some people who spend 10-15 bucks a month [real money] on gems since they don’t have to pay subscription fees anymore. I figure buying gems just once an xpac(you’d prolly spend the same over the course of the xpac or more) ain’t bad imo.

They did skins in the beginning but its too much work to fix every little clip for the 6 pieces of armor for each of the 5 races for both sexes and the 3 different types of armor, apparently. one skin fits all just easier. But i agree this is fashion wars!

I actually have the outfit on my male norn. His look is really, really close to my paragon in GW. I guess it depends on the physical look you create for the norn whether it is good or not.

That being said, I love the new outfit. It looks just like Paragon armor out of GW1.

The weapon skins are OK, for me. Loved the torch however.

Yeah, ‘Spearmarshall’s Presence’ is actually just a Sunspear Recruit outfit; not Sunspear Marshal armor that Kormir wore in GW1 (which was the image in the post I was responding to).

I would have LOVED a Sunspear Marshal outfit but I guess I’ll have to wait until ANet releases it in the gemstore as “Kormir’s Regalia outfit” or something so I can use it on my character called “Augur Of Kormir”.

Why isn’t anyone here talking about the clipping issue with this outfit on Norn males? (see image attached below)

Pretty amazing that a Deluxe edition bonus is so poorly implemented. I know clipping is a problem for a lot of skins, but this is supposed to be an incentive for players to buy the higher tiers of the expac and as it stands this will probably turn a lot of players off.

Also, the outfit honestly looks so basic to me. I’m really tempted to load up a human character and do a mix-and-match armor set to see how close we can get to this outfit with current armor skins.

The outfit is a complete joke. GW1 paragons’ starter armor looked better than this outfit that is/was supposed to be a selling point for the expansion.

The weapons, while plain looking, at least are interesting and not the worst out there.
